Rock around the clock

If you don't already know this about me, I have a confession to make.

I have a serious obsession with clocks!

This is my photo of the start of my clock collection

This is my latest purchase, I can't decide whether to use it on my sons bedside table

or

pop it under a cloche on a side table in my loungeroom



This is what I am saving for next so I can create a wall display like the one below.

This one is made by Howard Millar & here in Australia is available from Time Pieces Australia or Harvey Norman stores. It retails for $260. If anyone knows where I can purchase something similiar to this for a better price PLEEEEAAASE let me know, my budget would be forever grateful!

Sorry about the poor quality image, its a print out from Porter Davis Homes

Do you also share my clock obsession?

Serious Addiction

Dear bloggers, Hi my name is Trish & I am a blog addict!!!!!

Ever since discovering blog land my self discipline has slowly eroded away....

I have replaced exercise with long hours of sitting, its only a matter of time before the results of that begin to show....

I have replaced housework with more long hours of sitting, only doing the absolutely necessary tasks....

I have replaced social interaction with a day of hanging out with my laptop. When your mum rings and says  "Where have you been? We haven't seen or heard from you lately & thought you had disappeared off the planet"

you know you have a problem, by the way, I DIDN'T tell them I had traded them for You, my blog friends....

I think i have probably even developed a blog face, you know that face you get when your getting really involved in something on television, we call that "having your TV head on" at our house. I'm pretty sure I have a blog head on.....

So here is my 5 step plan to break my addiction;

1. 
   
   TO DO LISTS- Each day I am going to write myself a list of things I NEED TO DO  & check it off. I hate to not complete a task especially when its in writing!!!
2. 
   
   30 Min's of exercise 6 days a week is a must. I turn 40 next year & I want to be 40 & fabulous, NOT 40 & frumpy!!!!
3. 
   
   No turning on the laptop unless all basic chores are completed eg bed making, washing pegged out, dishes done, floors vacuumed & bathrooms tidied.
4. 
   
   No computer time between 5pm & 7pm so that I will cook a decent meal, I hate cooking & now I have resorted to making the quickest meal possible, this must change!!!
5. 
   
   I am going to ensure I visit 2- 3 real people in the real world every week, not just dozens of cyber friends

Wish me luck fellow addicts......

What can you do to discipline yourself & break your addiction?

 Tic Toc people its time to prioritize our time!!!!

P.s clocks are my other addiction

 Feel free to join me here. We can support each other. Let me know how your going conquering your addiction perhaps we can create a link or a blog party or something? I will be sure to give you an update next Friday.

Have a wonderful event filled weekend everyone

Cheers!!!

Must have Chinese style & a few great clocks

I have fallen in love with Asian inspired furnishings of late, especially  these Chinese garden stools.I would love two of these silver babies in the formal lounge room of my dream house. I have seen them here in Oz at Domayne, but I'm sure you would be able to find them in many stores.

I also discovered a fabulous range of Chinese style buffets, entertainment units & coffee tables at Buyster.com.au I think a few Asian inspired accent pieces would be a good option for me to bring life to my current furniture. I haven't purchased any major pieces for my home for a few years now & my current look is a little like a furniture catalogue, EVERYTHING matches...... I  know, I know.....I can hear your toes curling  just at the thought of it. In my defence I didn't know that buying the complete set for each room would lead to such a boring look, But I have learn't the error of my ways & will be breaking up the gang as soon as possible. 

I especially love this last entertainment unit, the doors give it a real aged look

I love this Buffet, it looks great with these chairs.




Whilst I was perusing Buyster's many online stores I was able to indulge my other  love, CLOCKS.

I am in the process of collecting some clocks to make a wall display & this one would be perfect.

 This one comes in a few sizes. I would like to see a large one in my sons bedroom.

 Ive only ever seen this style as a mirror

 A must have!!!

These mantle clocks add a nice touch to a cosy fireplace

I love these images of giant clocks. I actually have a clock like the one in this last picture & its always a talking point when people see it....
